[SuSE Linux] 2.2.2 breaks networking?
Hi: I just followed some instructions to update SuSE 6.0 from 2.0.36 to 2.2.2 on an IBM Thinkpad 600 laptop and they worked just fine... except it broke my networking. I then recompiled the pcmcia package and got the adapter working, but now the scripts are all screwed up because it cannot find the dhcpcd daemon. I tried reinstalling the dhcpc.rpm from the distribution cd, but that didn't work either. I then tried to set a fixed IP address, and that didn't work. I'm at a loss here... help. marc. ------------------------------------------------- Marc Abrams Product Marketing Engineer Broadband Access Operation Intel Corporation 503-264-0167 800-325-8275 pager marc.a.abrams@intel.com ------------------------------------------------- - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
I'm pretty sure you need a newer dhcp client for the 2.2.x kernels. first check the /unsorted dir on the first suse cd to see if they put it in there, if not goto www.freshmeat.net and get it there. Good luck! "Abrams, Marc A" wrote:

There are major problems with 2.2.2. For the time being use 2.2.1 which I'm using here and which works just fine. Although on my home machine we're not using it yet because it looks like Masquerading works in a different way and we're going to have to write new scripts - unless SuSE have already got some Masquerading stuff available that works on 2.2.1. It's apparently different.
